Our Story
Zinpro’s history dates back to 1971, when the late Dean Anderson discovered how to biochemically bind zinc to methionine in a form that proved to have the highest bioavailability. This discovery was significant in that this simple and highly-stable molecule was easily absorbed and utilized by animals.
From its beginnings, Zinpro has emphasized extensive animal research to prove performance. The company’s first growth surge occurred in 1980 when it was discovered that ZINPRO® zinc methionine improved hoof health in cattle. Zinpro soon expanded its product line to include iron, copper, manganese and cobalt products. In 1992, Zinpro introduced 4-Plex®, a combination of four of the company’s individually manufactured products. Four years later, it introduced the Availa® product line.
Zinpro is, and has always been, a privately-held, family-run company. Its steady growth over its 35 years has come as a result of quality products and, most importantly, quality people.
